Merry Berry Punch
For the Christmas party....
Ingredients600ml vodka
500ml blood orange juice
1 litre cranberry juice
75 ml cointreau
a few good shakes of angostura bitters
fresh or frozen cranberries for ice cubes
Obviously the first thing to do is make your cranberry ice cubes. Just put a couple of cranberries in the sections of your ice-cube trays, add water and freeze.
Mix all the punch ingredients together in a punch bowl and taste. It's the angostura bitters which gives the festive kick so you may want to add more of it.
This is a pretty potent cocktail, so top up the cranberry juice if you want to.
Float your berry ice cubes on the top and serve.
